Coffee Holding Co. Inc.

Coffee Holding Co. Inc. is an AMEX listed security that has been trading in a range between $3.30 and $5.94 over the past year. With 5,529,830 shares outstanding, a recent price of $5.90 gives a total market capitalization of $32,073,015. While there are certainly larger companies, Coffee Holding Co. Inc. has definitely earned its place in the pack. Last year, Coffee Holding Co. Inc. created $0.20 in earnings for every share outstanding.

Coffee Holding Co. Inc. is currently priced by the market at 29.50 times last year’s earnings. Many trading multiples around the world are quite attractive these days, but don’t be fooled. A Price to Earnings ratio of 0 simply means that the security didn’t make any money last year.

With a share price under $50 a share and earnings per share below $1 a share, Coffee Holding Co. Inc. could be an interesting value proposition.
